Intro:

G F E G


Verse 1:
  G           F                               C
I knew a wild woman, she threw a party on her grave
                           Am
She went there tapping her cane and sipping champagne
D
She's a wild woman, and she makes me feel so tame
G                      F
 I can take her in a foot race, but I can't take her anywhere
C                          Am                              D
 She laughs at all the pop stars, and she doesn't even care if they hear her

She's a game of solitaire


Chorus:
Am                  D                    G                 C
Tell 'em that story one more time, Joan, I won't look away
Am                  D                G            C
Let me leave you in laughter, let me go get you a plate
Am                Bm            C                Cm
When I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"
G                  Em             C       D
I know you believe me, and that's love in your way


Instrumental:
G F E G


Verse 2:
    G             F                                  C
The curse of a wild woman is that she doesn't suffer fools
                       Am                           D
She won't make cups of tea, and she doesn't bandage bruised egos

Or superficial wounds
G                     F                                  C
 But once I was sat beside her, when a fog rolled on the land
                    Am                             D
She spoke in sacred language every soul could understand

And with a broken body, many were healed by her hand


Chorus:
Am                        D                 G             C
Let's go dancing, you can lean on me, Joan, I won't even sway
     Am                     D                G                     C
I'll find you a five-dollar blackjack table, make some dealer's day
    Am                Bm            C                 Cm
And when I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"
G                  Em             C       D
I know you believe me, and that's love in your way


Instrumental:
G F G F


Bridge:
        C             G
She's a wild (Wild) woman
C                    D     G    Em A7
She's a wild (Wild), wild woman


Outro:
G              F    C   D
 I knew a wild woman, mm
G             F          C D
 Touched by a wild woman
G              F          C D
 Believed by a wild woman
      G                      F     C
To be known, known by a wild woman
      D
A wild, wild, wild woman
